12 Years of Second Life & Second Life Yearbook Challenge!

Today is May 9th, 2019, which is also my 12th rezday. If you don’t know what a rezday is, it’s the date you created your Second Life avatar. So it’s kind of like your avatar’s birthday. 12 years ago today I stumbled upon Second Life and fell in love with this virtual world!

Second Life New User Tutorials: I’m currently working on a series of tutorials for new users, which will eventually be posted on the Second Life YouTube channel. The first tutorial of the series will be out soon, perhaps next week. In the meantime, Linden Lab has released the bloopers that were made from the first tutorial. It was great fun working on this with Xiola Linden: https://youtu.be/kUfPQOzzCPQ

My Second Life avatar over the years: I wanted to share my Headshots Flickr Album again because I love the way you can see how much my avatar has changed over the years.

Every year I sign off on my rezday posts sharing how much Second Life has meant to me over the years. This year it’s now become my career. I can’t even begin to share how incredibly fortunate and happy I feel. Second Life has brought me so many years of fun and inspiration, and I’m looking forward to many more! Thank you all so much for being on this journey with me, and for supporting my work all of these years. <3

Hello Strawberry! Just a note to let you know that although I’ve joined, and subsequently uploaded a yearbook photograph twice now to the SecondLifeChallenge – Official Flikr group, it has been removed twice. It does not violate any of the group rules, so I’m not sure what’s happening there. I thought it might be good to let your other readers know that they might not be ABLE to get their portraits onto that site.

I love the idea of your challenge – and wish I could participate. It would be good, when photos are removed from the SecondLifeChallenge – Official Flikr group, if folks were told WHY this was happening.
